Since being founded in 1976, CroisiEurope Cruises has remained an independent, family-owned and -operated line. With 50 ships carrying over 200,000 passengers annually, the line continues to hold its position as an innovator in European river cruising and beyond.
All accommodating fewer than 200 passengers, the ships in the CroisiEurope fleet provide guests with an intimate experience, exceptional service, and the best of French and European gourmet gastronomy and wines. Ships range in capacity from 16 passengers on luxury small ships in Africa, to just under 200 passengers on ocean and river cruises.
Cruising the Waterways of France
If you’re looking for a unique view of France, CroisiEurope’s canal barges or river cruises are the way to go. Canal barges allow you to discover towns and villages in Alsace-Lorraine, Burgundy, the Oise Valley, Provence and the Camargue, Champagne, and the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris. Carrying only 22 passengers, barge cruising is an intimate and personalized way to explore some of the most historical and scenic regions of France, at a leisurely pace. The bikes onboard allow you to disembark and ride along the towpaths or discover local towns at your own pace. Refined French cuisine, outstanding local wines, and exceptional service complete the experience.
When it comes to river cruising, CroisiEurope has been the pioneer and leader in Europe river cruising. This year marks a decade of CroisiEurope’s exclusive Loire River cruises, with their uniquely constructed paddle wheel boat designed and built specifically to navigate the Loire. The M.S. Loire Princesse, a premium ship designed and built in Saint-Nazaire, provides a maximum of 96 passengers with a luxurious atmosphere perfect for discovering the Royal opulence, culture, and history of the Loire.
For oenophiles and lovers of the finest in French gastronomy, CroisiEurope offers 4-7 day cruise programs in Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhone & Saone, and Provence. This line was the first to cruise these rivers, and is celebrating 30 years on the Rhone. In these regions, itineraries are on offer which include vineyard and wine tasting excursions, onboard seminars and tastings, tours and tastings at Paul Bocuse’s Les Halles de Lyon, and an extraordinary 3-star French dining experience at the renowned Abbaye de Collonges.
Europe from the Rivers, Seas, and Ocean
In addition to their extensive and varied itineraries in France, CroisiEurope has plenty to offer in Northern, Southern, and Central Europe, as well as the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Adriatic Seas.
There is no better way to experience the Elbe than starting or ending your journey in Prague aboard a paddle wheel riverboat moored in the heart of the city, an exclusive experience with CroisiEurope.
If Venice is more to your preference, CroisiEurope has been cruising the Venetian Lagoon and going from Canal Bianco to Mantua for 25 years. The ship moors just steps from St. Mark’s Square, and there are cruise programs for all interests, including art, culture, food, and wine. In addition, there are special sailings to allow you to experience Carnival, Christmas, or New Year’s in Venice.
Or, if you are ready for an ocean or coastal voyage, how about Naples, Sicily, and the Amalfi coast? Or maybe Malta, Corsica, the Greek Islands, Croatia, or the Canary Islands? With CroisiEurope, the essence of France is just a river, canal, or sea away.
